Cela suppose de prendre en considération les enchevêtrements matériels dans lesquels nous existons. En prenant également en considération les concepts de transcorporéité et de créature bioculturelle offerts par Stacy Alaimo et Samantha Frost respectivement, nous sommes en mesure de bien comprendre les mécanismes qui sont au fondement de notre vulnérabilité. Puisque le féminisme matérialiste et la théorie des affects démontrent que notre relationalité est essentielle à notre devenir, je propose d’adopter le terme « affect—abilité » plutôt que « vulnérabilité » afin de nous éloigner des connotations négatives de ce dernier et de faciliter la reconnaissance et l’acceptation du sujet exposé, imprégné et imprégnant, que nous sommes.

Part of the reason for this difficulty is accounted by posthumanism’s illusive origins and its perpetually changing hermeneutics. This short paper gives a brief account of the ecological trend in contemporary posthumanism and provides a short prescription for the future of posthumanist literature and potential research avenues.","PeriodicalId":343114,"journal":{"name":"Con Texte","volume":"408 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132306140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The works of Tamar Sharon in mediated posthumanism and Dan Goodley in critical disability studies will be consulted. This cursory exploration will conclude that both the astronaut and the individual with a disability are congruent posthuman subjects insofar as their relationship to technology challenges the idea of a transhumanist overcoming of human limits. Exploring this relationship can tell us something about how posthuman subjects may be understood more generally. \u0000 \u0000Critical Disability Studies, Mediated Posthumanism, Mediation, Reflexivity, Originary Prostheticity, Tamar Sharon, Dan Goodley","PeriodicalId":343114,"journal":{"name":"Con Texte","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121841165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
